Like we're so used to EDM just being like bang, bang, bang, bang.
So I was like really into the sound.
Like, this is so cool.
It's like the climax kind of like happened so minimally and people are like so excited.
So the concept of that record was like
the song never climaxes, it just like kind of goes and then the cutoff gets bigger and then it goes back down.
And the concept for that record was I had just broke up my girlfriend at the time that lived in Philly and she, I was like, we did, we kind of like, I told Usher the story, like, I kind of felt like we, the climax, me and her, like we had the top of our relationship, but it didn't, that's as far as it went.
It wasn't like, it wasn't like the best, truest love of all time.
And that's kind of what the song was about.
He made the video for it.
I don't think he ever even sings a song.
It's too hard.
Cause it's all falsetto, but it became a really good song for his catalog.
Cause many people show his range.
So that was like what I did for people back in those days.
I was like, you're not going to get a hit, but you're going to get a thought provoking, weird record.
Yeah.
I was like, I was like big on Pitchfork and then they hated me.
And then I wasn't big, but that was like the thing.
People like get a Diplo song.
